Bleeding 1 week after ending period + Positive test
Hi everyone, I’m really confused and wondering if any one has experienced something similar.
Here’s my timeline:
I ovulated around February 6 and had intercourse that day.
I tested around 13 days after I ovulated and it was negative.
My period started exactly when it was due at 14DPO (day after negative) and that was about 2 weeks ago and it was like a normal period.
After that:
My period lasted 6-7 days and I had intercourse the day after my period ended (last week).
Yesterday I started having bleeding again like a start of a period, which is strange for me because my period had ended about a week ago.
The bleeding now is:
Bright red
Mostly noticeable when I pee or wipe
Some streaks/stringy blood
My pad only has light spotting
No cramps
Because it felt strange, I took a pregnancy test today and it came back clearly positive with a dark line, which really shocked me.
Now I’m confused about what could be happening because:
If the pregnancy is from ovulation around Feb 6, I don’t understand how I had a normal period after.
If it’s from intercourse last week, the test seems way too dark to already be positive.
So I’m wondering if this could be:
bleeding in early pregnancy
a chemical pregnancy
or if my last “period” wasn’t actually a real period.
Has anyone experienced something like this where they had a period, then a positive pregnancy test shortly after with bleeding?
I’m planning to call my doctor but would really appreciate hearing similar experiences.
